Sorine is perfection! I got everything waxed with efficiency, detail & care! I was anxious going in and had a wonderful time! Highly recommend and will return! read more

I went to go see Lisa and she is an artist! My sister is a hairdresser as well but she lives in LA so unfortunately I don't have her as a hairdresser. That being said, sister-approved hair is hard to come by! But for the first time after seeing 3 different people, my sister liked Lisa's work! Lisa worked on my hair diligently for 4.5 hours and I am so grateful for her work ethic and patience on my stubborn asian hair. I wanted to go for a grey balayage while fading into my roots and she executed it (and it's hard to do asian hair since mine is so thick and dark)! She even fixed a not-so-great haircut I had from a previous stylist. Bottom line: she is super sweet with lots of experience and will make sure you walk out with perfect hair! The place itself is very cute and quaint and has coffee/tea/water! read more

I went back recently after Sorine reached out to me..twice! She was so sincere I couldn't pass her up on the offer of a re-do. And it was great this time around. A lot more/better communication about the waxing I wanted done and what she was doing. I also like how she has you lie on your side and bend your leg for doing the backside, instead of, you know, getting on all fours... That's just awkward. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sorine to others. Rates are affordable, too! A $59 Brazilian is the cheapest I've seen anywhere! read more

I'm all about giving people second chances, but I don't think I'll be coming back which makes me super sad. Lisa is a really great person don't get me wrong, but I don't know if she had something against me. I never went to a salon to get my hair bleached or colored before. I wanted to get to a sliver, and I know it's a very hard color to achieve in a single session, however Lisa said she can do it for me. The first time she did great and my hair faded into a very light blonde that I enjoyed. So I decided to come back to get my hair lightened for that type of blonde. When I got there she said she can get my whole head white blonde with dark roots. I have done my own hair before and I definitely know that getting black hair to a white blonde in one session is impossible with having discoloration and especially super dead hair. After about 4 hours with my whole head in tin foil I still have big whole black strands in my hair. A Straight line going around my head when we talked about having it all blended. I have a random blue streak, that was never mentioned. In addition, I have brown patches everywhere. I would give a one star rating, but Lisa is a great person and she's really easy to talk too. She makes you feel very comfortable and tries to calm your nerves about your hair. I'm safe to say I'm better off doing my own hair like I always have. read more

This is a late review but I got my hair done by Lisa in December, hoping to achieve a rose gold/pink balayage. I was in the chair for 6+ hours. She bleached my naturally brunette hair and I knew that because my hair was dark, the color I wanted would probably not be achieved but she reassured me that she could do it. My husband was there waiting patiently and told me, after we had left the salon, that he saw her mix blue with pink in the sink. My hair was nothing at all like the picture I showed her, even factoring leniency that it might take another session or two to get there. I wanted a light pink but I was stuck with a weird purplish mess. I even texted her a week after (she promised it would fade into the right color I wanted after a week; it didn't) and told her that I'd like to have it corrected (I wouldn't even have minded paying extra for it) and she never even responded. I spent well over $200 on hair I didn't even want. I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt but she didn't even bother responding to me. She was nice and friendly to talk to while I was getting my hair done, but in terms of her services... it's a hard pass for me. I'm not paying for your conversation, I'm paying for how well you do my hair. It was the worst experience I've ever had with my hair. It made me scared to even give any other hair stylist a try in fear that I'd be scammed again. She should find a new profession! I finally got the courage to try again with my hair at another salon (Holiday Hair Salon in mountlake terrace) and it was perfect! Don't waste time here and go there (or literally anywhere else) instead! Check the picture of my hair before (what Lisa did) and after (what a PROFESSIONAL did). Oh, and it was cheaper too! UPDATE: owner of the salon was so kind enough to reach out to me even though this wasn't her fault at all. Lisa is no longer apart of this salon and I have no issues with this particular salon, just with Lisa. Thank you again, Sorine, for your professionalism and generosity! read more

S Spa Waxing Studio - Left: what lisa did. Right: what another stylist did. I asked for a pink balayage and Lisa left me blonde? - Skin Care Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I cheated. It's true. I admit that I have a regular waxer but the siren's call of a Groupon led me to Sorine and well, I...I think there's no choice....I'm going to have a go at polywaxery. See, it's hard when I do love the gal I normally to go but then I meet someone awesome like Sorine. She was soooo friendly, super professional, quick as a wink and the space (first at the previous location and now at her new one) was welcoming and relaxing. Her shop is on the other end of town for me, but now conveniently on the way to or from my daughter's lessons, I can pop in and out without any trouble and be all the better for it this summer and beyond. Hmmm..... I hope that my other waxer doesn't get jealous, she was my first and true waxer, but this one is so great too! For me, feeling comfortable is key, and Sorine will have you chatting away and not even realize you're now hair-free at the end of your convo. Super convenient hours/appointment options and soon hair services in her space? I'd vote that if you live in the North end, you should run RUN to this place. read more

I've been trying to be more of a fancy lady lately (ha!) so I've been working on beautifying myself. Thank goodness for Sorine at S Spa! She helps keep my legs nice and smooth by giving them a good wax when needed. She pays attention to the little details and always makes sure to get the stragglers. She's super chatty and sweet, so that always helps pass the time! I'd absolutely recommend Sorine for all of your esthetician needs :) read more

Glad to have found Sorine! She gave me the best Brazilian ever. She was very nice to accommodate me so early in the morning and very considerate that my schedule was so tight (have to leave out of the country.) I've had a number of Brazilian's before and she is by far the best. She uses this blue wax (no wax strips! ) and they don't hurt! Well, maybe that's an exaggeration but compared to what I've had in the past, this barely hurt!!! And she has the perfect personality for this type of service. She is the warmest, friendliest person ever. She makes you feel like she's known you for a long time - and this is IMPORTANT - especially because you are stripping bare, if you know what I mean. She was also very careful with my brows. She took a little bit off each time until I was satisfied. I just feel bad coz I only tipped her a little over 10% and with such great service I wish I could tip her more but this is impossible on my graduate student budget. :-( So, if you've been thinking about trying a Brazilian, go for it! Stop thinking about it. But make sure you go to Sorine. She is the best!!!! read more

I used my Groupon here, and she was very accommodating with booking me. This review is a bit overdue. She ended up only booking my brazilian and underarm in just 30 min, however it took almost and hour (and I was early), which was because I was pretty hairy. I felt bad for the person waiting after me. The worst part came after, when the next day my underarms were extremely sore, and my lady bits were completely covered with in growns (????). I am pretty good about exfoliating and everything, and had the spend the next few days Tend skin-ing and tea tree-ing before getting on a plane for holiday. I'm sorry, Sorine is a sweetheart, but I will not be coming back. read more

Sorine is fabulous. Let's be honest, waxing is not fun, but if you have to do it, go to Sorine. She is so kind and friendly that you don't feel uncomfortable at all. She remembered me after only one time and always does such a good job! Also, I love that unlike other spas, she does not try to push expensive products or services on me-- she just does her job and does it well. Thank you Sorine for always a great experience! :) read more

I came here after seeing her rave reviews on Yelp. I came here to get my brows waxed. I've been having them waxed now for about 10 years and have my regular gal back at home in the Bay Area (CA) where I'm from who does an AMAZING job. I have the worst/best eyebrows. When natural, I suffer from bushy, thick, long, uni-brow eyebrows. But really they can go either way. She was really nice, talkative and sweet. In her room was a table to lay down on and 2 wax bowls. No magnifying glass and the room was very dim. Afterwards I got in to my car and checked them out. There were still a lot of left over brow hairs that I had to go home and tweeze. I was disappointed. read more

Well, folks, she did it again! I am always so pleased with the service I receive here. Not only is Sorine a competent (and patient) waxer, her personality is so dazzling that I completely forget that I am showing my naughty bits to a stranger. She is disarming and understanding and never makes me feel weird, awkward, or embarrassed. I love coming to see Sorine and consider myself a loyal customer! read more

I too came to Sorine from a Groupon deal and a reluctant brazilian-getter, but I'm never going back to shaving after the experience! She's really fast and professional, while fun and chatty enough to keep your mind otherwise occupied while she rips out your hair =). The new space on Greenwood is conveniently located and beautiful inside. If you're scared, just try it! read more

Sorine is THE best Esthetician....ever. I have been brazilian waxed (a sometimes precarious procedure with the wrong person) by about 10 different people in Seattle. Sorene wins BEST esthetician...HANDS DOWN!! The salon is VERY well kept and clean. She is fantastic at keeping your mind occupied while she is pulling off the wax. She does not leave ingrown hairs. (I don't know how, I think it's the great quality wax she uses, but don't quote me) I have had an easy time getting in to see her within a day or two each time. She is down-to-earth and unpretentious. I enjoy talking with her a lot ;) The prices are competitive and possibly even inexpensive considering her skill. Her work speaks for itself....GO SEE HER! read more

My review is specifically about waxes with Sorine--I haven't had any other services from anyone else. I got a brazilian wax deal on living social and must say it was the best purchase ever. It's so hard to find a good esthetician who is nice and reasonably priced. She is so sweet, thorough, and professional. She used the living social deal program in the right way---to get her name out there and gain a regular customer base. I'll definitely be coming back, and spreading the word about her! She's fab--highly recommend! read more

I found this little spa through a Groupon for waxing. Many times the spas are not that great with the coupons, but Sorine is fabulous. I travel often and do a Brazilian every month. So I have spent a lot of time with getting "waxed". Sorine gave me one of the best waxing appointments. I also LOVE the hard wax. She was talkative, friendly and great. She really does such a great job!!!! Thank you for a great appointment. I will be back when I'm in town again!!! read more

I've seen Sorine three or four times now. She is lovely, personable and easy to schedule with. She gets me in and out quickly, and when I'm done my brows look perfect. She remembered details about me on my second visit, which surprised me and made me smile! Her salon space is cozy and nicely decorated, with a view out onto the tree-lined street. Parking is on the street but usually not a problem. She uses Square for her credit card payments, so I can have my receipt emailed or sent via text message. All in all, a superb experience! Thanks, Sorine! read more

I have now found my place for the best Brazilian in town! I have been to other salons in the area and in California (where I'm from) and have never had such a great experience. On a practical level, the wax has always done horrible things to my skin and it has always grown back right away. I don't know what it is about Sorine's "hard" wax method but it works wonders! Just twice to see her (in the recommended 4-5 week time between visits) and I swear I've hardly have any growth. I just love my time with Sorine, she makes it so enjoyable. She loves to chat and just make you feel comfortable. I will definitely keep coming back every few weeks! See you soon, Sorine! read more

Fantastic waxing experience - go see Sorine! I found her through the recommendation of a friend and have found my new eyebrow savior! She is so friendly and efficient- and although I've been taming these brows for years, I was a newbie to bikini waxing. She was so helpful, walking me through what to expect and lots of great tips to make sure there were no rashes, bumps, etc. A true professional. read more

I am so happy to find a wonderful waxing salon close to home! The salon was a lovely space, impeccably clean and Sorine was warm and professional and did an amazing job. I went to Wax On for years but the drive downtown,... I would just keep putting it off. Hooray for a great salon on Greenwood! read more

So I originally did not care for the customer service of this salon, but one of the stylist sent me a message apologizing AND offered a free service. This is exceptional customer service in my eyes as half the time someone has an issue somewhere it goes un noticed. I have set up my appointment and I feel 100% with the reaction to hearing how unhappy I was that things will go smoothly and this will be a place I recommend to friends! Please book with Sorine as she is very accommodating to schedules and makes time for her clients!! read more

Lisa was having a special on hair coloring and I'm so glad I took her up on it! It was the first time I've gotten a balayage and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Having not done this before, Lisa made sure to keep me in the loop and ask for my opinions along the way. I will for sure be coming back to get touch ups in the future! read more

I'm so glad to have found Sorine at the S Spa. She has magic fingers that seem to glide effortlessly melting away stress in a relaxing waltz. My face felt invigorated and refreshed. The only downside was that everything ended too quickly. read more

When it comes time to take care of the nether regions, it's important to know your options. I've done regular brazilian wax using wax and strips, sugaring and hard wax. The type of hard wax used here has some sort of soothing properties and the best part is it is over pretty quickly. Sorine is wonderful and made the whole experience very pleasant (well, as much as you can given the circumstance). read more

Went to see Sorine for a Brazilian wax, and wow. She is the best esthetician I've ever been to. Very fast and thorough. Professional but very down to earth and friendly. I felt very comfortable during the service which is really saying something! read more

I have had countless Brazilians from a few (mostly skillful) estheticians, and Sorine is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Between the lovely, sincere conversation and the amazing wax she uses (first a hard wax, then a gentle aloe wax to get stragglers), the whole experience was fast and fabulous. I never thought I could feel so comfortable with a new esthetician during the very first appointment (and for a Brazilian, no less...!) and I'll definitely be going back to Sorine for all waxing needs for as long as I live in Seattle. read more

Went here for the first time for a brazilian, and full arm wax. I've been to at least 7 other places to get waxed and I have never found someone that does such a FANTASTIC job and is as thorough as Sorine is! I consider myself to tolerate pain pretty well (thats me sitting through electrolysis on my arms for an hour), and her wax and methods seriously keep the pain at bay! For all you newbies, try it here first! She is also super personable and so so nice! Didn't make me feel uncomfortable or feel awkward at all. Out of all the salons I have been to, she is the 2nd person that I must say that is just naturally nice and wonderful! (and this is a big reason I keep switching around! I want to gel well with the person I am paying for this kind of service!) price is also great! very reasonable! :O) I will definitely coming back!!! read more

At what other spa would you want to hug someone who has just forcibly ripped all hair from your hoo-ha? Only at S Spa, after a pleasant session of chatting and minimal pain. Sorine is, quite possibly, the Greatest Waxer of All Time. The story of my relationship with Sorine goes back to when she was at a previous location and I purchased a Groupon for three Brazilian waxes. When I had burned through those, I had no choice but to come back--Sorine is just too wonderful, and even her full-priced services are very reasonable! She is friendly and gregarious--so fun to talk to, to the point you forget you're being waxed. I would recommend S Spa to anyone who wants to have a great waxing experience at good prices and to support a local small business run by an awesome and dynamic woman. read more

I've been coming to Sorine for years so this review is long overdue! She was the 1st person I ever got a Brazilian wax from and I've never been to anyone else and I do not plan too go to anyone else. She is very kind and friendly and will make you feel so very comfortable! read more

Let's face it, it must be hard to run a business of ripping people's hair out! Sorine does everything she can to make you comfortable, and is super friendly. I like that I can schedule an appointment online. Me and all my girlfriends go here for waxing. I've also had a haircut here and was satisfied. read more

Tanya is a wonderful person and a great hair stylist! She made my dried out ombre look luscious and rich! She's easy to talk to and makes you feel like you've known her forever. She has a gentle touch and is a perfectionist. You need that in a hair stylist! Thanks for such a lovely experience;-) I'll be back for sure;-) read more

I had a wonderful experience with Lisa at S Spa. I was thinking of going blond again, I had been dark red for years, but knew it wasn't a one trip color. I called around to get a few quotes and times. Lisa was extremely prompt in replying to my inquiries and was able to fit me in after work that day! She took a look at my hair, asked about my color history and we discussed color techniques. After a bit we decided on a honey/gold balayage to help me transition to blond. Lisa was very up-front about the price and time it would take, very reasonable. After applying the color and letting it process, she took a look and reasoned it needed another layer of color, which she was happy to do at no extra charge! The entire process took 4 hours! It was after 9:00 PM by the time I left, no way expected when she offered me the spot. Lisa was friendly and approachable the whole time, even let me chatter at her for nearly 4 hours. The whole experience was great, I didn't feel like she was rushing or trying to up-sell me on products or services. I also didn't feel like I was annoying her by talking or when she had to apply more color. I have had my hair professionally colored for over 15 years and this was one of the better experiences. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a color change! read more

I have been getting bikini and brazilian waxes for a few years now, and I've gotten them by many people in many cities across the country. Sorine is the best esthetician I have ever come across Sorine is quick, thorough, clean, and the waxes I have gotten from her have been the least painful of all. I also love and appreciate that she keeps talking with you the whole time, it makes you kinda forget whats going on. I made the mistake of trying out another place and will never do that again. I highly highly highly recommend going to Sorine for all your beauty needs. read more

The best in the biz. Sorine is just the sweetest. Over 20 years now (gulp) I've been getting waxed and until I met Sorine I truly dreaded it each time. She's got amazing wax and technique - it somehow doesn't hurt as much and the results are fantastic. read more

Sorine is fantastic! Very skilled, gentle and thorough. She makes your visit fun. I highly recommend this lovely spa/salon, the easy to schedule appointments and plenty of free parking! read more

I've been going to Sorine for years - her prices are reasonable and the new location is fantastic. She is very easy to work with and always remembers what's going on in my life - an impressive skill when you think about all the people she's probably met month to month! read more

Sorine is very friendly and professional. She gave me an amazing facial! Don't hesitate to make an appointment.

Love Love Love S Spa and Sorine. I used to only get waxed occasionally, before big events etc, because I thought it was too spendy but I found Sorine and S Spa through a Groupon and have continued to come back because of how great the service is. Super friendly, great to talk to, and so much less painful than other places I have been. read more

I go to Sorine for brazillian waxes, and I give her 5 stars because: Her salon is very clean and tidy She has great hygienic practices, no double dipping in the wax Great availability Price is very competitive She is friendly, sweet and non-pretentious She always does a great job, no clumps of wax left behind. I highly recommend this place. read more

Sorine is amazing. Not only does she do a great job, but she makes you feel super comfortable and is very welcoming. You don't feel you are just a client, but a friend to her. She is amazing and I recommend going to her, especially if you are new to the waxing thing. read more
